Sumner Posts Sentiments.

A. R, held Thursday evening, the follow
ing resolution was passed condemnatory of
the action of President Cleveland. and
commencing the promptness of Depart
ment Commander E. S. Solomon:
Resotred. That the members of the Grand
Army OF the Republic in Sacramento heartily
lnoorse the action of Department Com
mander Solomon in telegraphing his protest to
the AdJutsnt General of the 6. A. K. against the
transfer of the battle flags of the rebellion from
the National Capital to the respective States to
which they formerly belonged. and pledge our
unqualified support to defeat the carving out of
any such order. These battle flags are e1nblems
OF the victories won by loyal men on many hard
fought battle fields, at the cost of much blood
and treasure, and to those lately in rebellion
can only serve as reminders of their defeat in an
unholy cause. We therefore desire to enter our
most solemn protest against such action as that
contemplated by the President of the United
States.
